This article serves as a follow-up to previous discussions on data ingestion into Snowflake, specifically focusing on the complexities and efforts involved in integrating Change Data Capture (CDC) data with Snowflake in real time.

This is an exploratory article delving into various ways to ingest real-time data into Snowflake. The premise of the article is to examine the level of difficulty and effort required to ingest change data capture (CDC) data into Snowflake.

In today's discourse, we delve into the intricacies of accessing Snowflake via the Trino project. This article illuminates the seamless integration of Trino with Snowflake, offering a comprehensive analysis of its benefits and implications.

This is a long anticipated third article on optimizing pgbench for CockroachDB. I've been wanting to write a follow up ever since I learned about new improvements in the next release of CockroachDB.

CockroachDB Dedicated comes with TLS enabled by default. At the minimum, a certificate authority is needed to authenticate. A customer was having issues using Flyway and TLS.

Migrating feature toggles with Unleash and CockroachDB

As of this writing, CockroachDB does not have official support for protobuf payload as part of change data capture. Today, I am going to demonstrate a feature that may or may not land in CockroachDB proper. The product team is looking into viability of the feature before we can officially support it.

This is a fun experiment using DuckDB to parse CockroachDB Change Data Capture output and querying CockroachDB with DuckDB.

This is my series of articles covering short "Today I learned" topics as I work with CockroachDB. Today, we're diagnosing cert issues, looking at client verification of server certificates differences in the cockroach and the psql clients, and checking the node and the CA certificate expiration programmatically.

Today, I am looking at a database caching product called PolyScale.ai.

I've been experimenting with CockroachDB high availability scenarios and fault domains. CockroachDB relies on load balancer to provide client fault tolerance. Today, I'd like to look at a load balancer as the single point of failure. To my knowledge, load balancer high availability is not discussed in any of the existing CockroachDB documentation.
